This morning Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, hinted at an increase in regulatory authority of the Federal Reserve over the U.S. banking system. Wait a second here… Folks what does that mean? Well, that’s a darn good question, and one I am hoping you are asking yourself right about now.

Bernanke’s little “hint” was dropped during a speaking engagement at The Council On Foreign Relations. Now, if you are not familiar with the organizations commonly referred to as “The Fed” and “The CFR” then I suggest you do a little research. You should be interested in each because together they influence our domestic, foreign, and monetary policies quite heavily.

Let’s not get wrapped up in the endless array of conspiracy theories here folks. We don’t have that kind of time. This is what I want you to focus on – these are two private entities exchanging ideas on how to control your money. Unlike you or I exchanging ideas; however, they have the sphere of influence to shape public policy without you or I ever being engaged in the democratic process that our nation was founded upon.

Are you picking up what I’m putting down folks?
